Ry-On was hatched on the planet Marzipan (in the Galaxy of Andromeda), and began his broadcasting career while still in the womb. One day, quite by accident, his then-pregnant mother developed a case of the vapors, causing fetal Ry-On to telepathically hack into an Earth government satellite. He then began broadcasting snippets of pre-natal grunts and groans as the result of his mother's eating of too much solar fiber. His birth was relatively uneventful, but his mother abandoned him in the delivery room a full 7.5 nanoseconds after Ry-On's emergence.
